Some kites are larger than others, consequently ornithologists, who are never so happy as when splitting up species, have made a separate species of the larger race. This latter is called Milvus melanotis, the large Indian kite. It is common in the hills. It is a greyish fowl with dull brick-red wings and shoulders. Its flight is very distinctive.
